Review: by Cindy 06/03/2011 o Had my truck checked out and oil changed here. The next time I changed my oil I discovered they used the wrong filter. The oil filter was obviously too small. Shortcuts could be the norm here. Beware. Possible Response: o Dear Customer, We are deeply sorry that you feel the service you received wasn’t satisfactory. We strive to be the best company, and are working everyday to make improvements. Thank you for bringing your concerns to our attention.
